"Great hotel all round, handy location from metro and walking to some main sights. Shops, restaurants and super markets nearby. Clean room, very comfortable bed (the pillows were amazing), bottles of water provided every day, tea and coffee in the room. Great selection at breakfast for both Asian and Western tastes. All staff were really friendly. The only improvement for me would be to speedup the elevator..... it takes ages to arrive."

"The room was big and perfect for a family with young kids. Bunk beds and a very large king size bed. The main area had a dining table and sink which was perfect for getting some yoghurt, fresh fruit and veggies into the kids at breakfast, when there's nothing else really open. Great central location, without being too busy like Myeongdong, made it really easy and affordable with young kids to get around by car. The staff were really friendly and always accommodating"
